  • Patent number: 11537199
    Abstract: To enables you to take animations in a virtual space, an animation production system comprising: a virtual camera that shoots a character placed in a virtual space; a user input detection unit that detects an input of a user from at least one of a head mounted display and a controller which the user mounts; a character control unit that controls an action of the character in response to the input; and a preset storage unit that stores an expression of the character, wherein the character control unit sets the expression corresponding to the input that does not affect the action of the character to the character.
